UE 8 estimates the level of throughput (data bits per second) available via the 3GPP cell from (i) an estimate of the quality of a downlink channel for the 3GPP cell based on the most recent measurements of downlink signals transmitted via the 3GPP cell; and (ii) the most recent information received from BTS 2 about the load level for the 3GPP cell (STEP 406 of Figure 4).

  • a scaling factor e.g.
  • UE 8 then compares the estimate of throughput available via the 3GPP cell against the actual throughput currently achieved via the WiFi AP 4 (STEP 408 of Figure 4). If the result of this comparison is that the estimate of throughput available via the 3GPP cell is found to be higher than the throughput currently achieved via WiFi AP 4, UE 8 transfers back to the 3GPP cell (STEP 410 of Figure 4). On the other hand, if the result of the comparison is that the estimate of throughput available via the 3GPP cell is found to be no higher than the throughput currently achieved via WiFi AP 4, UE 8 continues to be served by WiFi AP 4, and repeats the comparison of STEP 408 at periodic intervals.
  • UE can be configured to only transfer back to the 3GPP cell if it is found that the throughput achieved via the WiFi AP 4 is lower than the estimated throughput achievable via the 3GPP cell by more than an amount (delta), whose value has been communicated to the UE from the radio access network before the UE transferred to the WiFi AP 4.
